At one time the 1929 Spanish Revival style Paris Springs Junction Store
had a grocery store, cafe, gas pumps and three cabins. The little square
addition of the east corner (left in this photo) was for restrooms which
were added later because indoor plumbing wasn't part of the construction
of the original building.
The Gay Parita Store is now a private residence.

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
